Nick Saban is not pleased with one notable aspect of this year’s College Football Playoff.
In an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” Thursday, Saban admitted he sympathized with Oregon Ducks fans over the playoff draw their team wound up getting. Despite an unbeaten season and a Big Ten championship, the Ducks had to play the Ohio State Buckeyes in their first playoff game, and were blown out 41-21 in a game that was never close.
“If I was an Oregon fan, I have to say this, because this kind of bothers me. You’re the 13-0 No. 1 seed, and you’ve got to play Ohio State in the first round,” Saban said. “I’m not an internet guy, but if I was an Oregon fan, I’d be on the internet screaming about that.”
